Our first few day trips

So after a few months of just settling Tor into work at home, we have started taking him out to Gisborne and Lara for a few different outings, and to start training him over some different cross country fences, just to see how he reacted to them.

I would have to say he is probably the easiest horse to take out somewhere new, never gets hot (and he's a chestnut!) and behaves almost exactly the same as he does at home, which is a nice change!

I took him for a walk around the xc course at both places, where we popped over a variety of fences, such as banks, steps, ski fences and ditches, all of which he jumped straight over with no hesitation. He really is such a pleasure to work with, he is always wanting to please, and I believe once we start having a few dressage and jumping lessons, it will not take long before it all comes together, and he will be starting his eventing career :)
